How I helped Georgia.

Mary Musgrove placed herself in the center of Oglethorpe's dealings with neighboring Creek Indians. As interpreter for Oglethorpe and Yamacraw Indian chief Tomochichi, Mary Musgrove was very important for the founding of Savannah. She served as Oglethorpe's principal interpreter from 1733 until 1743, and she received pay for her services. During this period she used her connections to make peace between the British and the Creeks. Musgrove taught Oglethorpe about the Creek Indians.
